  - 'Introduction: Non-communicable diseases are the global disease burden of our
    time, with physical inactivity identified as one major risk factor. Green spaces
    are associated with increased physical activity of nearby residents. But there
    are still gaps in understanding which proximity and what characteristics of green
    spaces can trigger physical activity. This study aims to unveil these differences
    with a rigorous sensitivity analysis. Methods: We gathered data on self-reported
    health and physical activity from 1365 participants in selected neighbourhoods
    in Porto, Nantes, Sofia, and Hoje-Taastrup. Spatial data were retrieved from OpenStreetMap.
    We followed the PRIGSHARE guidelines to control for bias. Around the residential
    addresses, we generated seven different green space indicators for 15 distances
    (100-1500 m) using the AID-PRIGSHARE tool. We then analysed each of these 105
    green space indicators together with physical activity and health in 105 adjusted
    structural equation models. Results: Green space accessibility and green space
    uses indicators showed a pattern of significant positive associations to physical
    activity and indirect to health at distances of 1100 m or less, with a peak at
    600 m for most indicators. Greenness in close proximity (100 m) had significant
    positive effects on physical activity and indirect effects on health. Surrounding
    greenness showed positive direct effects on health at 500-1100 m and so do green
    corridors in 800 m network distance. In contrast, a high quantity of green space
    uses, and surrounding greenness measured in a larger radius (1100-1500 m) showed
    a negative relationship with physical activity and indirect health effects. Conclusions:
    Our results provide insight into how green space characteristics can influence
    health at different scales, with important implications for urban planners on
    how to integrate accessible green spaces into urban structures and public health
    decision-makers on the ability of green spaces to combat physical inactivity.@eng'
